WMSC #125 Camellia

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is enjoying a long holiday weekend - getting some great deals at the stores, spending time with family, maybe catching a football game! I'm watching for some good deals on some of my favorite paper crafting supplies too! That way when my husband asks "What do you want for Christmas?" I can tell him - "no worries, I already got it!" By Sunday things should wind down a little and you can sneak off for a little crafty time!

It's time for your weekly dose of Waltzingmouse goodness! The sketch design this week is by Mischief Maker, Jean Martin of Stampin' Scrapper blog. Jean makes some beautiful, striking creations and this design is all her! Lots of room to play and have fun with this one! I love those pennant shapes in the background and that circle in the middle to show off your most favorite Waltzingmouse Stamp! I just got my Camellias set and had to see if I could do them justice. I stamped them in purple ink and colored them up with some Copic markers. I fussy cut a large and small flower and layered them for some extra dimension. Here's a few close ups......

I hope you find time to play - If you need a little inspiration there are lots of examples by the Mischief Makers to get you started! You can click here to jump to the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog site. Have a great day!

WOW.......and .....WOW again !!!!!! Love this Jeanne! Oh my gosh this is gorgeous! I never noticed just how beautiful this set is until now. Love your layers ,layout and beautiful color. wonderful stamping . I tell my husband the same thing ...that I already bought my gifts .

How did you think of that French Country border for your banners? That was genius! I love your beautiful card and all the layers of camellias. That see through ribbon with the twine is so pretty. Great job on this one, so pretty...ohh, just noticed the embossing on the card base! Beautiful

Love the way you turned that border image into the pennants...so beautiful, Jeanne! I just love the colors on this. The bright green leaves just pop off of that lovely plum. GORGEOUS coloring of the camellia!

Wow, what incredible colors--the camillia and the leaves are STUNNING! And the French Country border makes the most gorgeous pennant. The ribbon treatment is fabulous--love how you worked in the button thread!

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

I left my career a few years ago, and at the time my husband started calling me "a kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
